Monday, April 06, 2009
Suzy is sure everyone knows someone who has volunteered for Habitat for Humanity at some point, or has wanted to do so themselves.
Well now is your chance, check out the below info on how to participate in many a project or just back office stuff with this very important and heart warming organization.
ALL ABOUT HABITAT
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL is a nonprofit, interfaith housing ministry that works in partnership with families in need, without regard to religion or ethnicity, to improve the condition in which they live. We are people from all walks of life, working together to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, making decent, affordable housing a matter of conscience and action.
Volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials enable Habitat to build and renovate homes, with the help of homeowner/partner families. Habitat houses are sold at no profit, and are financed with affordable no-interest loans. Loan payments go into a Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF ROCKLAND, an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, was incorporated in 1994. A local volunteer board of directors governs HfHR's building programs, and several committees work under their direction. With the combined efforts of a host of volunteers and Habitat homeowners, HfHR is committed to eliminating substandard housing conditions in Rockland County.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
We need help in many different areas. If you are interested in any phase of building, contracting or on-site volunteer coordination, contact the office. Help is welcome on a variety of committees, depending on your interest and skill. The Habitat office is always in need of volunteers to help with day to day activities: phones, data entry, mailings, database management, etc. We also need leads on property where Habitat can build or renovate. Please call the office and donate your time and talent. Volunteer applications are available by mail and on our website.
